Hard MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Let $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ {{1 \over {\sqrt {10} }}} & {{3 \over {\sqrt {10} }}} \cr {{{ - 3} \over {\sqrt {10} }}} & {{1 \over {\sqrt {10} }}} \cr } } \right]$$ and $B = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & { - i} \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]$, where $i = \sqrt { - 1}$. If $\mathrm{M=A^T B A}$, then the inverse of the matrix $\mathrm{AM^{2023}A^T}$ is

  1. A $\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & { - 2023i} \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]$
  2. B $\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 0 \cr {2023i} & 1 \cr } } \right]$
  3. C $\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & {2023i} \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]$ Correct answer
  4. D $\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 0 \cr { - 2023i} & 1 \cr } } \right]$

Solution

$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{AA}^{\mathrm{T}}=\left[\begin{array}{cc} \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}} & \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}} \\ \frac{-3}{\sqrt{10}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}} \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc} \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}} & \frac{-3}{\sqrt{10}} \\ \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] = I \\\\\ & \mathrm{B}^2=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -\mathrm{i} \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -\mathrm{i} \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -2 \mathrm{i} \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] \\\\ & \mathrm{B}^3=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -3 \mathrm{i} \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>Similarly, <br/><br/>$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{B}^{2023}=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -2023 \mathrm{i} \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] \\\\ & \mathrm{M}=\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{BA} \\\\ & \mathrm{M}^2=\mathrm{M} \cdot \mathrm{M}=\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{BA} \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{BA}=\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{B}^2 \mathrm{~A} \\\\ & \mathrm{M}^3=\mathrm{M}^2 \cdot \mathrm{M}=\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{B}^2 \mathrm{AA}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{BA}=\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{B}^3 \mathrm{~A} \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>Similarly, <br/><br/>$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{M}^{2023}= \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{B}^{2023} \mathrm{~A} \\\\ & \mathrm{AM}^{2023} \mathrm{~A}^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{AA}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{B}^{2023} \mathrm{AA}^{\mathrm{T}} = \mathrm{I}.\mathrm{B}^{2023}.\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{B}^{2023} \\\\ & =\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -2023 \mathrm{i} \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>$\therefore$ $$ \text { Inverse of }\left(\mathrm{AM}^{2023} \mathrm{~A}^{\mathrm{T}}\right) \text { is }\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & 2023 i \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] $$
